The CAL Scribe Fiction Prize
Scribe is searching for the best unpublished manuscript by a writer aged 35 or over. Many writers only find the time and have acquired the life experience to write fiction later in life. This prize recognises that there are many examples of late bloomers when it comes to writers, certainly in terms of getting published. Youth is already celebrated in so many ways, and Scribe wants to support writers who are emerging or still going strong in their prime.
Prize Money: $15,000. Scribe will publish the winning novel.
Applications due 15 September 2010
